Getting over my fear of pregnant women

It's taken three sessions of a yoga class, surrounded by round women, to cure me of my unfounded fear of pregnant women.

They did scare me at one time, with their shape and my unfamiliarity with what it feels like to be them, but I have since embraced them. I am finally joining them in their roundness and knowledge of the hithc hikers we have looping around in our bellies, elbowing our kidneys and changing our ever strong yet feminine shape to welcome their growth. I do feel the density growing as he accumulates bone. he is around two pounds, healthy and active. Very active..

I do still wear my regular pants to work by crafting an extension from rubber bands for my buttons to latch to. I still wear the same pair of jeans at home (low rise), but there has been changes to my wardrobe for the season. I'm so happy to be in sweaters and cozy, soft garments. Although I will miss the whitewater this season, I am reminded of the short amount of time this will be until he will be on the water with us, showing us the latest moves..

I am meeting a photographer friend of mine and dropping a few bucks for commemorative pictures of the little man in utero. I wish to remember what my body has morphed into and savor the quiet moments while they last. :)

Friday, will be an update on health, weight and my 27th week. I don't have many more to go.
